Workers' Compensation Exemption Registry
The Workers’ Compensation Exemption Registry is for the purpose of establishing construction service providers who are exempt from workers’ compensation coverage and in no way reflects licensing or certification of any construction services provider. Non-construction business owners are not eligible to obtain an exemption on this registry. A list of business types that are eligible for this registry can be found here.
If you have received a request for additional information, please send the necessary documentation or corrected information to wc.exemption@tn.gov. If you have a question about the information needed, please call our office at 615-532-1319.
